Multimedia Blog 4/21

           The restaurant I chose was Maggiano's Little Italy. Its located at Hackensack NJ. The times that the restaurant are available are 11:30 am-10:00 pm. If you couldn't tell by the name they serve Italian food, and other food. Some dishes are chicken parmesan, baked ziti, and other delicious dishes.


            Personally my favorite dish from here is chicken parmensan. Its breaded chicken breasts baked with Provolone cheese and marinara sauce, served with spaghetti marinara. This is my favorite place to go out to eat because I enjoy the food and when u order your food you can get a second full meal for free to take home for your dinner tomorrow.

            If Maggiano's Little Italy closed down I would probably go to Bensi. I would pick Bensi because I can still have Italian food when I go there.

Wireless electricity? It's here

Katie Hall was shocked the second she saw it: a light-bulb glowing in the middle of a room with no wires attached.Looking back, it was a crude experiment, she remembers: a tiny room filled with gigantic copper refrigerator coils the kind you'd see if you cracked open the back of your freezer. She waled in and out between the coils and the bulb and still the bulb glowed.  Katie said:" Let's work in this. This is the future." Don't worry about getting zapped Dr. Hall assures that the magnetic fields used to transfer energy are "perfectly safe" in fact, they are the same kind of fields used in Wi-Fi routers. 

Wiki Research

How can a wiki be used in your current classes? (tip: Use the Internet, here is a good source). Be specific to your classes!

             It can help you find a lot of information about topics that you are learning in World History. It can also help students and teachers by collaborating the information. 

What are the benefits of using a wiki?
The benefits of a wiki is to help people find information about famous people or just some fun facts that you want to know. 

How can we create one in this class and utilize it?
If we created a wiki for this class you can search up different ways to do a tech article or something new that we could learn.

What experience do you have using or creating wikis?
I have no experience using a wiki because, Most of the$ teachers I had and have now told the classes I was in to never use wikis.  

Wiki 3/31

A wiki is a website that allows to add, delete different content in a web browser. The wiki's that I have used was Wikipedia and wiki notes. It helps people with education because people can search up different things that people are not sure about. For example: If they didn't know how old George Washington was they can go on wiki and search it up.

Apparently This Matters: Instagram's favorite grandma

. 

Even at 80 years old, it didn't take long for Grandma Betty to figure out duck face and peace signs

"It wasn't us."

It all started about three months ago when 18-year-old Zach Belden, a high school senior in Jeffersonville, Indiana, decided to start documenting the final days, months, and (hopefully) years of his great-grandmother, Betty Jo Simpson. Grandma Betty has lung cancer. She was diagnosed in December. She's 80."Many of my friends knew Grandma," Belden told me. "And it was a neat way to connect her to them."

         Amazingly, after about a week, Grandma Betty had nearly 100 followers. And because she's pretty much the cutest thing walking the planet -- sorry, sloths -- her account quickly caught on even more with people who had never even met her.Amazingly, after about a week, Grandma Betty had nearly 100 followers.

Invisible Cloak

            As I was on top of Empire State Building, I would look out into the city to see if anything was going wrong. A lot of things happen in the city, so I would need to be really careful and ready for anything/anyone is in danger. For example if a store was being robbed I could see if from a mile away and transport there and stop them from going anywhere. 

           I would also use the invisible cloak to pull pranks on my family and friends. If I had the power to use the cloak, not only I would use it for good but I would also use it for fun. But if somebody saved me for danger I would be thankful for that mysterious person who helped me. This is what I would do if I had an invisible cloak.

Apple's wearables will be for fitness

So instead of some watch that is suppose to replace, or duplicate the function of the iPhone, Apple is far more likely to produce a series of accessories that have the same functions as the iPhone. The smartest idea for Apple is to have these wearables, because nobody needs Google glasses yet. The wearables are not necessary but it can be helpful to some people.

 My World History teacher is Mrs. Forsyth. Before she was a teacher she was in the navy. When it was the first marking period I expected to learn new things in history.
